KITP Laptop Policy

The KITP encourages visitors to bring their laptops since they are generally a great aid in accomplishing computing tasks. It should be noted however, that while the KITP computing staff will provide the requisite information to make minor configuration changes needed to make laptops work within this environment, we do not support visitors' laptops. Before leaving your home institution, you should ensure that your laptop has all the required software and is appropriately configured.

Given limited staff time and resources, and given that each laptop has a unique combination of hardware, software and configuration, our assistance with laptops is limited to providing information on getting the most common platforms to connect to the KITP network.

If you have any questions about your laptop or this policy, please check with us *well before* arriving at the KITP.

The instructions below are available for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh laptops.
